Xavier de la Rue is both awesome and insane. He got to the top of this mountain via helicopter, rappeled down the side of the mountain to a certain part of a cliff, then snowboarded down the rest of the way.

Xavier De Le Rue rappels a rocky cliff to access an awesome pow run.

What in Gods name would anyone ever want to do that for?

Just jump out of the helicopter to a spot where you can start your boarding. Sheesh, everyone has to make things tougher now-a-days.
